KANSAS October 19 October 19 BENEFIT FOR DOUGLASS HOSPITAL HEAR MISS BESSIE EADS, SOPRANO of, Parsons-Los Angeles, in Recital, at FIRST A. M. E. CHURH WED., OCT. 19 PROCEEDS FOR BENEFIT DOUGLASS HOSPITAL MISS EADS HAS ONE OF THE SWEETEST SOPRANO VOICES IN THE ENTIRE WEST ADMISSION : : : : : 25c MIDNIGHT AGAIN WILL DO BATTLE : WITH THE BUGS Oklahoma City, Okla.—One more time I am on my way to the Park Sanitarium, one of the best places in this country to go when the bugs are after you, and Dr. H. W. Conrad is one of the best doctors in the world and you may tell them that I told you all this and I am prepared to back up all I say. If it had not been for Dr. H. W. Conrad and Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago, Ill., the worms would have been fat by eating three or four meals a day from my body and my soul would have been with the angels. I rejoice that I am here to take my pen in hand to write you a few lines this week to inform you of my health and to say that I am yet among the living and hope when these few lines come to hand they may find you the same. I am still on praying gound and pleading terms, and the Lord is hearing me, and taking care of me, so I am able to ride and write, hence comes my letter to you this week. When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week with my ink and paper on the table, I was in big Old Chicago, getting around among good people, and I had the pleasure of getting into several churches, and seeing what was going on, and made a few remarks in them. It was on Sunday, and when I got through Sunday night I got myself on the Chicago & Alton carriage iron horse wagon headed for St. Louis, in Missouri. Believe me, when I tell you that that old iron horse acted like he was going to run his foot brains out. He is supposed to run from Chicago to St. Louis without stopping to take a drink of water. Well, when I stepped off of the wagon in St. Louis, I found Poro college automobile car carriage waiting to tote me out to the college, and out there I went, and found them just going in for prayer. It is wonderful to see three hundred men and women in their working outfit, going into a fine auditorium for prayer. This is what happened. Mrs. Malone made some remarks and an old soldier made some also, and that put an end to the meeting. They certainly do some fine singing there, and it is just like a family altar. I was surprised to meet the Old Veteran there, John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American. He shook my lily black hands and assured me that he was delighted to see me. We had breakfast in Poro together, and then we went to call on the sick man, the business man, the man of real intellectual worth, and the man by the side of his wife who is doing so much for our people, Prof. Aaron E. Malone. He is getting back to himself again, and it will not be tb long before we will look upon him as a real well man. Prof. Malone is not going to do much work this winter, but will take up his time in getting back to health and strength that he has been deprived of by sickness. He can afford to do this and is going to do it. He is indeed a bright mind, and conversed with us about the latest literary production, and about] a wonder book of poems he had just concluded reading. I listened with interest, and when we were through we shook hands and started for the street. I was in company with Editor John H. Murphy, who is termed "Kid' Murphy." We went to several of the big newspaper offices. He left me and I left him, and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon I was in the Missouri Pacific carriage headed for Kansas City, reaching there at night, I went by the Wheatley hospital, got some medicine, and then on to the home of the Rev. Dr. W. T. Osborn, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church. It was a fine night's sleep, and the next morning I got in touch with the Rev. Dr. Dawson, of Bethel A.| M. E. church, and he showed me the town. Dr. Dawson is one of the up-to-date pastors in Kansas City, and he is going to have a church building by next summer. They are just working hard raising money, and just think of it, last year the people put on the table over ten thousand dollars, and this was considered a round report at the annual conference held in Lexington. We ended at the home of Mrs. Norene Davis, and from there I toted myself over to Atchison, Kansas, where they were putting things over the top. Then followed the meeting of the Baptist State convention, and it was presided over by that scholar, that church builder, that leader of men, Dr. W. A. Bowren, of Kansas City, Kansas, pastor of the First Baptist church, which will soon be in keeping with its name and rank, because their new building will be completed by next month, and the people will be invited to be present on the going in it day. Of course Dr. Bowren is going to have a good preacher there, one the world will enjoy hearing. He has done the work, and will want you to see what he has led his people to do. It is a great thing to be a leader of men and women in a great cause. Getting through with the convention, but not through because I had the pleasure of meeting that other leader, the Rev. Dr. George McNeal, of Kansas City, Kansas, and talked with him, and it would take the whole paper for me to tell you all the preachers and sisters I met on this trip. Perhaps you want to know what else happened? I went to the A. M. E. church, the Rev. Dr. C. R. Tucker, is pastor—in fact I stopped with him during my stay in town. Do you know Dr. Tucker? He is to be one of the bishops of the A. M. E. church, and he is a great preacher. He has left this state where I am and is now with Bishop Parks in Kansas. He is doing things, and he is just a man for doing things. I was indeed deighted to see him and to talk with him and to speak to that intelligent set of men and women from all parts of the state. No, they were right there in Atchison. I was called upon to deliver them a talk, and I spoke to them from my heart, and when I was through they gave me some money, thereby testifying that they were pleased.

SENT ANTI-LYNCH WIRE TO SENATORS The Citizens' Forum tent a telegram to Congressman Little and Senator Curtis to see that the anti-lynching bill is passed. As we go to press Congressman Little has replied to our Forum president that: "He will do all in his power to see that the United States Congress passes the law." Mrs. M. Jones, Waco, Texas, a friend of the Stephens and Miles families, 830 Nebraska avenue, was their guest the past week. Mr. Jones is state missionary of the A. M. E. church of her state. early, George W. Kerford, of the George W. Kerford Quarry Company, was at the door in his new car to tote me down to the quarry, which is indeed a wonderful plant, and I just had to shout out at one time. You this is the largest business of its kind operated by our people, and he is the only one I know of in your race doing this kind of business. You see, a long time ago his father went in the business, and he made a success of it. Then he died, leaving the business in the hands of his widow and three sons. The boys had been trained, except Clarence, who was then in school and remained until he had finished, and then with the mother as silent partner the boys took hold of the business with George as manager, and Lloyd next and then now Clarence is right in the office, and anywhere else. They work together like the works in a clock. They supply crushed rock to the railroads, and others needing that kind of service, and the income for every month month will run up in the thousands, and then they are supplying work for so many men. My eyes were opened, and then I went to the Lincoln school, met teachers, headed by Prof. W. E. Gray, and saw the children, then to the church and from there to Leavenworth, where I had been invited by the Grand Recorder of Deeds of the Grand Court of Calanthe. Mrs. Davis was there also. I got on the outside of a big hunk of chicken and other things, and then I got busy for a sleep, and the next day I made it to Kansas City, and was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. P. W. DeLyles, and left at night for the place where I am, but will soon be away from here. I am here at the home of Mrs. A. M. Smyth, a worker for her people and their uplift. She is doing a big thing down here. I will leave her and go to Guthrie. I am to be the guest of the Baptist ministers here, and will go to Texas, where my mail is now going. Send my next mail care Second Baptist church, Muskogee, Oklahoma, and from there to Chicago, and then to Wheeling, W. Va. ADVOCATE The bright, sunny, pleasant October Sunday morn, the 10th, brought out to First A. M. E. church a multitude of worshippers and visitors. The extra occasion was "Home Coming Day" and mortgage burning on the one side, but the one happy feature that can never be forgotten, was the bringing about 75 of the old and decrepit of the city, who had "borne the burden in the heat of the day," in autos to enjoy the day's services, and eat a fine chicken dinner, with all of its trimmings. The dinner was prepared and served free by the Pastor's Aid Board, Mrs. Ida Lyons its president; Mrs. Lulu Hornbeak, secretary. While this board represents First Church, it is not denominational in its work, as a large per cent of those sainted old fathers and mothers were from other denominations; in fact this board never inquires as to their church affiliation, but can we relieve or give service that will make comfort and a happier life. The front pews were reserved for these pioneers of First Church, and other aged guests. Many of them entered the church supported by son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, friend or relative, to their seats. Some three, four and one five score and six years of age, with heavy furrows, bent forms, eyes dim, shortened step, showed long years of service had done its work upon the once young and vigorous tenement building, but now it was only a tottering, fragile structure, but in it, still lived with all its activity and power the same soul that entered this building scores of years ago. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, preached a sermon full of power and spiritual advice and made a number of touching references of what the spirit had done for the aged that occupied the front pews. There was great rejoicing and hardly a dry eye could be seen. At the close the congregation remained until the honored of the, day marched to the dining room, where ladened tables were awaiting them. They were tenderly served by young men and women of the church who took great delight to be at their service. At 2:30 a special program took place in the auditorium. Praise meeting preceded the program, when many shouts and hallelujahs rang through old First Church, some gave expression to their joy by either shedding tears, shouting His praises, laughing, amens or clapping their hands: The choir of 1890, thirty-one years ago, that were living furnished the music which showed by their sweet anthems that First Church had sweet singers more than a score and a half years ago. Those present: Organist, Mrs: Ella Smith, Mrs. Annette Gibbs-Gleed, Mrs. Sadie McClain, Topeka; Mr. A. W. Fox, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. Harry Berry, Mrs. Kittie Lee, Mrs. Mary Francis and Mr. Tilford Davis. Mrs. Minnie Cooper read the history of the church and gave the names of the pastors in rotation which extended back nearly seventy years ago. After a few brief remarks by Attorney Dorsey Green and Judge I. F. Bradley, Prof. Shelton French called to the rostrum Mothers Henrietta Green and Ellen Gray, two of the old members. After introducing them, Prof. French handed them a plate, with the last mortgage and note against the church. These two sainted mothers held it, while a lighted match started to burn up the last document against the church. Great rejoicing and laluijahs went up as it slowly crumbled into ashes. Mr. Charles Williams, one of the old trustees, asked for the ashes, which were given him.

C., with that magnanimous leader presiding. Rev. A.R. Robinson of Philadelphia, National Grand Master. The Nationol Grand Lodge held sessions for three days and each day's session was full of peace and harmony. Missouri was represented by her Grand Master, Dr. N. S. Jenkins, and Kansas represented by Rev. J. A. Broadnax, G. M., and Dr. J. Franklin Wilson, Deputy Grand Master, and Mrs. Dora Cummings, of the Grand Court of Kansas.

M., of Kansas, was introduced to preach the opening sermon./ Rev. Broadnax took for his subject "From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God," and in a very intelligent manner delivered one of the best sermons ever witnessed by those present. After the sermon the National Grand Court was excused to another floor of the Masonic Temple to start the transaction of their business. Upon the appointment of committees Dr. N. S. Jenkins was placed on the credentials committee, Rev. Broadnax on the grievance committee, and Dr. Wilson on Grand Lodge returns and the committee on jurisprudence. Tuesday's session was opened by a good Gospel sermon delivered by the Rev. Dr. N. S. Jenkins, whose subject was "The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree and grow as a cedar in Lebanon." The sermon was masterly preached and Dr. Jenkins seemed at his best. Both he and Rev. Broadnax received many compliments upon their sermons. The reports showed that there were in the United States more than 100,000 York Masons affiliated with the crafts throughout. Georgia stands first. with 15,000 members; South Carolina second, with 14,000 members. Thirty-eight states were represented in the National Grand Lodge.

CHURCH NEWS REVIVAL CLOSES TONIGHT Sunday was an ideal day, as to the weather and the attendance was encouraging to the house of worship. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, was feeling at his best, and his sermon was one of rich spiritual food. It was "Home Coming Day." The aged members of the church and many others of like years of the community of 75 or more enjoyed and rejoiced with friends, relatives and acquaintances, to their hearts desire, from early morn to the going down of the sun. The choir at the morning services the old spiritual hymns that our mothers and fathers so dearly loved and in which delivered their souls from sin and their bodies from bondage. Everybody went home with a new spirit, and their night's slumber was one of rest and peace, that probably had not been theirs for many a day. The revival services under the supervision of Mrs. Rev. Lena Mason drew more than two thousand Sunday night, and many were satisfied to stand the entire evening. Large crowds have attended every night this week and many souls have acknowledged Christ. The series of meetings will close Friday evening. The public is invited to be present Sunday, when another great service for the Master and humanity will be theirs. Bring your neighbors and friends, and hear a sermon that will help you. First Church is your church home and spiritual helper if you so desire. Argentine, Kansas St. Paul A. M.

As Anson Mount, superintendent of the Howe button factory, of Petersburg, was reading his evening paper, his little daughter, Mary, age six, was playing on the floor. Tiring of play, she crawled to her father's knee and asked him: "Does the bad man get all the people who are bad?" The father, not looking up from his paper and a little provoked by the interference, replied, "I suppose." The child studied for a minute, and then sald: "Does he burn them all up? Some little boys told me he did." Again the father replied that he supposed he did. Again the child, not satisfied, asked the father where they went after he burned them all up. The father, irritated, replied that he supposed they all went to ashes. The child studied for a few minutes, and then said: "Gee, he must have an awful job carrying out ashes." -Indianapolis News. ANYWAY, SCHEME WORKED Experimenter Secured Sleep, but Hardly Knows Just Where to Award the Credit. He couldn't sleep. He had read that if one would put the tips of the fingers of one hand against the tips of the fingers of the other, one could go to sleep immediately and the next thing would be daylight. He decided not to tell his wife. With the lights out he placed the tips of his fingers together and lay still for several minutes. Then he moved slightly and was quiet again for several minutes. Naturally after a time he began to squirm, but he kept the finger tips together. The wife noticing the restlessness and the finger tip performance, inquired irritably: "Edward, what in the world are you doing?" "Nothing," he sheepishly replied, and soon was asleep from the fatigue of holding the finger tips together. Now he doesn't know whether to give credit to the finger tip ordeal or thanks to his wife for breaking the "spell." Réspite. Warden—What is your last wish?

A. in that country, will be in Kansas City the 19th and 20th. Mr. Yergen before the war was a student secretary of the colored department of the International committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations. During the war he accepted an invitation to take charge of the British arm Y. M. C. A. for the work for native Africans in the German East African campaign. A staff of colored men was recruited in America to carry on this work which did for the native in his camps what the regular Y. M. C. A. huts were doing for the British troops. Since his return to his student work in this country, Mr. Yergan has been planning for his return to Africa in a permanent relationship. Arrangements have been completed with the government of Liberia and with the missionary forces in that country so that he will have the cordial co-operation of all agencies in the establishment of a Y. M. C. A. in Liberia. He has now become a secretary of the foreign department of the International Committee and is visiting the colored Y. M. C. A.s in America to acquaint them with the project. It is the expectation that the colored associations will desire to assume the support of his work. While there are Y. M. C. As in South Africa (for the Dutch and British and therefore in no sense missionary enterprises) and there are also Y. M. C. As in several of the Egyptian cities, Mr. Yergan's new work in Liberia will be the first Y. M. C. A. to be established on the continent of Africa for Africans. Yergan is a brilliant speaker as those who heard him at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. and Allen Chapel last year will testify.

President Curry presided. The instrumental solo by Miss L. Crump was beautiful. Current events were given by Prof. Starnes and C.. Jenkins. Mrs. Bluford of Kansas City, Mo., rendered a fine solo. Prof. John Hodge gave an interesting talk on "The Need of a Junior High School." Miss Freeman of Portlanl, Ore., sang a classic solo and was encored. Prof. N. Clark Smith, of Kansas City, Mo., also sang a pretty tenor solo. Prof. J. J. Lewis talked on the night school, and Miss Marjorie Tucker and Miss Brown rendered classic solos, which delighted the audience. Those who were absent missed a high class all-star performance. Mr. Comagers and Mr. Wm. Boone lifted the collection, Prof. Scruggs in his critique praised the program highly and the president extended the participants thanks. The critic says: "We should advertise our programs more." But our Advocate certainly gave them a fine ad, if our nearly 2000 patrons would read their paper more carefully. The publicity committee thinks members should also announce these fine programs in churches and schools. Miss T. Smothers and Miss Mickey deserve praise for the program they brought us. Come next Sunday, October 6, and don't miss another fin Forum program. 4 p. m., at Metropolitan Temple. See the crowds. We are informed that Mr. C. A. Long got his arm broken at Coffeyville. We hope he will soon get the full use of it. Mrs. Freeman, of Portland, Ore., is the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Boone, on Freeman avenue.

The Kansas City Advocate, October 14, 1921 METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES October 9 was an ideal Sabbath, according to our tastes for weather, and a large crowd congregation assembled to hear Dr. Thomas, president of the Baptist college in Kansas City, Mo., preach again. He is a fine theologian and gives spiritual food for thought. He preached from St. John III-3, "Ye must be born again." It was so fine and he made it so plain that some united with the church for baptism. There are several candidates to be immersed soon. After a large collection, Mrs. A. T. Marrs gave a good report of the State convention held at Afchison. She told how cordial the white Baptists of Atchison treated them, and how fine the mayor welcomed them; also that Rev. Van Lieu, state missionary, is elected delegate to go to Africa, in December. She said, "Ebenezer church and A. M. E. church members of Atchison made everything pleasant for the many delegates in attendance. The men brought forward $1646.75, and the women brought in $1446.30. Metropolitan church was highly complimented for bringing most money to the State convention, although without a pastor. The convention will meet next year at Pratt, Kansas. Mrs. Battles, president of the Mission, and Mrs. Jackson attended the State convention, and made good reports to the Circle. At 8 p. m., Dr. Thomas preached instructively from Rom. 1:16, "I am not'ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, etc." He certainly is a fine preacher. Next Sunday, October 16, the $5 rally. So all who are anxious to hear him, and those who have not heard him, come hear this wonderful agostle. It will be a big day. Metropolitan still ranks first in convenience with most entrances and exits properly placed, but it needs new seats and needs their expensive lights lowered and they can have hardwood floors arranged any time they order them. Don't forget to come next Sunday, October 16, and hear our new pastor. Many are eager to hear him, and those who have heard him say, "he is one of the most wonderful intelligent, spiritual preachers they have ever heard. Metropolitan church doors are ever open unto joy and sorrow. Hear Dr. E. J. Graft at Forum, at Metropolitan Temple, Sunday, October 16, 4 p. m. One of the worst fakes ever perpetrated on working men, and returned soldiers especially, is the attempt of chambers of commerce, acting with their misguided and subserviant servants, city officials, to open what is called "employment agencies." An ex-soldier tells us of his experience on the Missouri side. He was sent to the Faeth iron works, no salary being mentioned. At the end of the day he was called out by his foreman and asked what he would work for. The soldier hesitated. "All we can pay you," the boss continued, "is 25 cents an hour. We can send up there and get fifty of your kind. They flock to anything like that." As the soldiers has to support a wife, baby and mother, he had to quit and seek other work. He was at the factory the next morning and saw six new dupes put to work. One day's labor at 25 cents an hour and then a new bunch would come in. This plan is to be tried out on the Kansas side in the hopes that it will cause a reduction in the prevailing rate of wages. Tell your experiences of such fakes to The Bulletin and they will be published. Be sure to give the name of the firm you are sent to, and the offer made. Some of the cheap building contractors appear rather sore because Building Inspector Hosford will not.let them use 1x4s for studding. Hosford wants the houses to stand up at least until the purchaser makes the second monthly payment on them. None of the real contractors kick on the inspections. Josephine Frost says the egotism of man is his greatest blessing. It permits him to think himself woman's superior, and woman knows how to take advantage of it and go right ahead with the important business of the world. (Biologist says Americans are the most credulous people on earth.—Scientific Note.) Did you ever, ever, ever See a dog that wouldn't bite Just because you eyed him sternly, Did you ever, honor bright? Did you ever, ever, ever See a handsome man with jaws Like those in all the pictures Howard Chandler Christy draws? Did you ever, ever, ever Have a pair that really fit, Like those in advertisements, After you had crawled in it? Did you ever, ever, ever In all your live-long life, See a little, skinny fellow With a ditto, ditto wife? It is not true that whiskey is costlier now than it was fifty years ago. The fool was stripped to his foolish hide then, even as he is today. The cost of whiskey has always been the same. Prohibition, inadequate as it is, has proved a boon to labor, and its continuance will mean complete emancipation for all who toil with their hands. Sober men walk straight, think straight and act straight, and if there ever was a time when we needed to do so it is the present moment. Sobriety has given us a grasp of realities and strengthened our will to accomplish, while before our sodden brains could not even direct us to our humble wigwams, and our will was a stubborn, "won't." Let the employer class guzzle the cider while it is hard, brother; we working people have other things to do, bigger things, things that only sober men and women can accomplish.

In the matter of the Estate of Priscilla Thomas deceased. Notice is hereby given that letters testamentary have been granted to the undersigned on the last will and testament of Priscilla Thomas, late of said County, deceased, by the Honorable, the Probate Court of the County and State aforesaid, dated the 15th day of September, 1921.

GEORGE THOMAS, Executor of the last will and testament of Priscilla Thomas, deceased. Dated Sept. 15, 1921. (First published Sent. 23, 1921) SOFT ANSWER IN SWEDISH "Explanation" That More Than Satisfied the. Offended Representative of the Law. A pretty young Swede and an American girl were crossing the Ellipse, regardless of a lettered warning to keep off the grass. A bicycle policeman wheeled up to ask If they couldn't see the sign whereupon the American whispered to the other to answer him in Swedish. The little foreigner burst forth in excitedly mystifying language and the other girl chipped in with the few words of her own acquired stock. Realizing the impossibility of enforcing the law on two young and attractive aliens, the officer not only permitted them the right of way but took the trouble to point out the Monument, government buildings and like public views. When she got the chance the American girl asked her friend what she had said to the policeman—and that upholder of the law may be interested in the answer. "I was so nervous that all I could think of was the Lord's Prayer. And I gave it to him from start to finish." —Washington Star. GREW WHISKERS TO GET JOB And Secretary of State Hughes Has Worn the Required Facial Adornments Ever Since. Charles E. Hughes, secretary of state, gave little indication to his teachers and classmates at Brown university that he was to, become a leader in the nation, though it is true that he had his bachelor degree before he was 21. It was his intention to make teaching his life work, and he did devote some years to that occupation. His first application for a job was as a teacher of Greek if a small eastern college. The head of the department received him kindly, but evidently regarded his youthful appearance as making him an impossibility in that line. "Why," said he, "you have no more hair on your face than an egg." "If a heard is necessary I can raise one," said Hughes, who knew his own ability in that line, and soon was able to qualify for the job and got it. And, by the way, he has the same whiskers yet. He has never worn a clean-shaved face since.—Columbus Dispatch. HIS POINT QUITE REASONABLE A Good Logic in Negro's Contention as to Lion's Probable Change to a Meat Diet. A negro employed at one of the Hollywood movie studios was drafted by a director to do a novel comedy scene with a lion. "You get into this bed," ordered the director, "and we'll bring the lion in and put him in bed with you. It will be a scream." "Put a lion in bed with me!" yelled the darky. "No, sah! Not a-tall. I quits right here and now." "But," protested the director, "this lion won't hurt you. This lion was brought up on milk." "So was I brung up on milk." wailed the darky. "but I eats meat now."—Los Angeles Times. Helping Him Out. While visiting friends in Cleveland, a young Detroiter was presented with a quart of rye whisky. He decided to take it home in his suitcase. As the steamer neared the dock he became more and more nervous. Finally, in desperation, he confessed his fears to a fellow voyager. This kindly individual offered to trade suitcases and assume all responsibility. The young man was vastly relieved and the change was made. The luggage was not searched and a few minutes later the two met on shore. The young man was exceedingly grateful. "By the way," he observed, as they exchanged again, "you must have a lot of things in your suitcase; it's awfully heavy." "Yes," said the stranger. "I have twelve quarts in nine."—Harper's Magazine. Maine's Gold Mines. Gold has been found in a granite quarry at Skowhegan, Me. The presence of gold in Nova Scotia has given a certain plausibility to the expectation that where Maine passes into the sub-boreal terrain auriferous deposits may be found. Yet even the Nova Scotia field, one understands, has received about as much gold in stock subscriptions as it has ever emitted in bullion.—Lowell Courier-Citizen. Social Distinctions.

Commuter'a Impression "Is this an accommodation train?" asked the travelling man. "Only in a technical sense," replied Mr. Crosslots. "As a matter of fact it's one of the most disobliging trains I ever rode on." Page Three. I have spent my last wild evening—out with the boys those salted-peanut, peppermint-lozenge' debauches are rapidly sending me to the dogs. Upon two separate occasions, last night, I put a penny in the slot and got nothing in return out a few hulls. That was a fine chance to start something, and I did, or at least tried to. Alas! the good old days when a man could get himself thrown into the middle of the street car track—maybe a rib or two fractured into the bargain—for saying half of what I did, are now past and gone, forever gone, I fear! After this I shall stay at home and tease the cat, or do something else there is real risk'in. SACRED All Work Guaranteed Kassel Jewelry Co. 548 Minnesota Ave. Kansas City .

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 23 PAUL'S LAST JOURNEY TO JERU SALEM. GOLDEN TEXT—Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap if we faint not—Gal. 6:3. REFERENCE MATERIAL — Rom. 16: 3-16, 21-25; II Tim. 4:19-21. PRIMARY TOPIC—How Paul's Friends Showed Their Love. JUNIOR TOPIC -Paul and His Friends. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Paul and His Friends. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Paul Reviews His Ministry. 1. Paul's Visit to Greece and Milatus. (20:1-6). Two incidents marked this trip: 1. The Jews laid wait for him (vv. 1-5). This plot obliged him to retrace his steps through Macedonia instead of a more rapid sea voyage. 2. Fellowshiping the Disciples at Troas (vv. 6-16). He met with them around the table of the Lord and spoke words of encouragement. While preaching here, Eutychus, in a deep sleep, fell from a window and was killed. Paul restored his life, thus giving to the disciples a sign of divine power which was greatly needed at that time. 11. Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders. (20:17-38). His object in this address is to impress upon them their responsibility. L. Review of his three years' ministry (vv. 18-21). (1) The spirit of ministry (v. 19). He was humble, tender and faithful in spite of the many trials which he fell him. (2) The faithfulness of his ministry (vv. 20, 21). He made known unto them everything which was of profit, taught them both in public and in private. He neglected no class, Jews or Greeks. He was impartial in all his ministry. (3) The theme of his ministry (v. 21). Repentance and faith. This is the pre-eminent note in the message of true ministers today. 2. The present state of things (vv. 22-27). Having reviewed his ministry, he now points out the present state of things. (1) His immediate purpose was to go to Jerusalem (v. 22). (2) Bonds and afflictions were lying across his path (v. 23). Despite these he went forward with undaunted courage. He knew that God was leading him, so he went forward. (3) His fixed purpose (v. 24). He was determined to complete his ministry at whatever cost—even giving up his life. (4) His consciousness of obligation discharged (vv. 25-27). Knowing that they should see his face no more, he called them to record that he had not shunned to declare the whole counsel of God; therefore was free from the blood of all men. 3. His charge to the elders (vv. 28-35). (1) The ground of (v. 28). The flock for which they must care was purchased by the precious blood of Jesus, and they had received their commission from the Lord. (2) The impending evils (vv. 29, 30). False teachers would arise from their own number. Grievous wolves would devour the flock. The most deadly foes of the church are those ministers and Sunday school teachers who are unfaithful to their trust. (3) Intentives to faithfulness (vv. 31-35). His own example of watching night and day for three years is held up before them; his unselfish service, laboring with his own hands night and day that he might be free from suspicion of selfishness. III. Paul Tarrying Seven Days at III. Paul Tarrying Seven Days at Tyre (21:1-6). His point of destination was Jerusalem. He was pressing onward thither with all speed, but on account of the unloading of the ship he was obliged to wait at Tyre for seven days. During this delay he searched out the disciples who lived in that city. While here certain disciples said that Paul should not go to Jerusalem. The information which these disciples received by the Spirit was doubtless the same as that given to Agubus (vv. 10, 11). Agabus told exactly what the Spirit said, which sets right what the Tyrian disciples seemed to say. The same Spirit which showed to these disciples that suffering awaited Paul, revealed unto him the same suffering and sent him forward into it. IV. Paul Tarrying in Philip's House (vv. 7-14). Resuming their journey, they paused briefly at Ptolemals to greet the brethren there, after which they went to Caesarea. Here they took up their abode with Philip, who had so successfully wrought in the early days of the church. V. Paul at Jerusalem (vv. 15-17). The brethren at Jerusalem gladly received them. Paul's lodging place was with an old disciple. Mrs. Ella S. Morgan is the first colored woman to erect a green house of her own for her floral business.

Slight Resemblance One of the Texan friends of Representative Cooper met him the other day. "You smoke, don't you," he asked. "Sometimes," said Cooper. "Take this," remarked the Texan. "This is something like a cigar." Cooper took the weed, lighted it and puffed three or four times. "Yes," he assented, "this is something like a cigar. What is it?"—New Orleans Lawyer and Banker.

Can he locate himself and say: There is where I might be but here is where I am? Is the detailing of the extent of his lost condition fine enough and exact enough for him to make an accurate calculation as to its significance? Let us see. PETER H. BURKE 1. He is lost from the knowledge of himself. When the man in the San Francisco horror walked about the street saying that he had saved a million dollars from the fire in the little satchel he carried, the policeman bade him open the satchel. There was only a fire-shovelful of ashes. That was all. The poor man had become delirious, and that was the reason he stated that a shovelful of ashes was a million dollars. And the lost man in sin has failed to find his actual moral assets. One look at Jesus Chirst and what it cost to redeem him will do more to acquaint a man with himself than years of argument about his own orderly behavior. As the cheeks may bear the flush of health when the heart is really slowing down to death, so one may be cheated about his soul's standing before God. He is "being deceived." Saul "verily thought" he ought to do what amounted to persecuting Jesus until he came where he knew himself to be the "chief of sinners." 2. The lost man is lost from the knowledge of God. Knowledge ABOUT God may be his, like the knowledge about home comforts to a man starving and freezing in a pathless forest. He may know about God but he does not know God. But the saved man has found a new friend, he is swathed in a new love, he has consciously met God. "This is life eternal that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou has sent." The lost man is lost from acquaintance with the only absolutely reliable Friend. Sinner Lacks Assurance. 3. The lost man is lost to the knowledge of pardon of sin. However much he may desire and dreamily hope that God would not condemn him, he cannot pass beyond the line of uncertainty about it. The very best he could dare say would be based upon his self-asserted—perhaps. But the saved man knows. As Mel Trotter says: "I know that Jesus saved me for I was there when it happened." The saved soul has the "offering" of Jesus Christ between him and all guilt. He can meet all accusers with the challenge, "I know whom I have believed." Have you heard his song? Have you seen the light in his eyes? Have you gotten close enough to him to observe that he has full assurance of faith? In one of our state prisons, at chapel service on Sunday morning. I heard a prisoner call out, "O, I'm free, I'm free, all my sins are pardoned. I may have to stay in this prison twenty years yet, but I say I'm free." O, soul, surely there is something worth knowing. 4. The lost man is lost to the knowledge of answered prayer. Now the privilege of getting things from God is not worked out by man. Prayer is a privilege presented to man by God. He has arranged that it cannot sink down to the grade of our whims and fancies, but He has also arranged to bring the trusting soul up to where "the fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much;" and as God answers prayer after prayer, the Christian life becomes a succession of miracle after miracle. Hell-Ward or Glory-Ward? 0. It is something to be a partner in the secrets of "the household of faith." The lost soul never knows that. At the very best he may look off on it with astonishment, as it has been exhibited in a godly mother or some other person of faith. Or he may not do so well; he may deny it all. Either way, he is lost to it. To say, "I called, he answered," is not his. Never has there come to him from the silence anything but an echo. 5. The lost man is lost to the knowledge of Christian hope. The Christian's hope is not, an outgrowth of interesting probabilities. No. It is the legitimate product of security and certainty. It means, saved today I shall be saved forever. It opens its eyes wide to the enemies, the dangers and the storms, and it sees clear by them all. It is that better-on-before knowledge. The tug of the place of the "glorious reward" is felt by the man who has it. I tell you that the uncertainty is drained out of the future for such. But the lost man! Ah, the pull and tug on him is from the very opposite region. Let him be truly willing to break with that fatal pull, and by the grace of God he will be caught by the other. The one is hell-ward, the other is glory-ward. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE State of Kansas, Wyandotte County, ss. Case No. 11360. In the Probate Court in and for Said County.

MAJOR MINOR, Plaintiff, By I. F. Bradley, His Lawyer. Attest: R. J. McFarland, Clerk District Court. (First published Sept. 30, 1921) Charles Werthin; a farmer of Edwardsville, Kansas, declares he brought a load of honey to Kansas City, Kansas, Tuesday of last week and he could not sell it for cash at all, but had several offers by which he could trade it for groceries. Conductor Guy Melanger of the Missouri Pacific says he came in the other night with seven cars of honey, shipped clear from Japan, consigned to a commission firm of Kansas City, Mo. The commission man does not keep bees, probably has never seen but few, but he rides in a 6-cylinder touring car, while the poor dub who likes honey pays the snaky-eyed little Jap for it, and lets the Kansas fariner go to the devil.
